Yay for Food!

Finally, the colonoscopy is done and Sawyer can once again eat! We quickly put in an order for some macaroni and cheese from the hospital cafeteria.

Things looked good from the scope (we even got pictures -- some things I think might be better left to the imagination!). His lower intestine is slightly irritated which caused the bleeding, but it should heal fairly soon. They will give him some medicine to help coat the area as it heals. Because of the clean report, they will start the chemo process shortly (6 hours of fluid, then the beginning of the 24-hour infusion) which was good news.

Sawyer is back in the room, resting comfortably. He was very cold when he came up from the ground floor surgery and is well-ensconced in layers of blankets, coats and heat pads. He's watching shows on the History Channel waiting for his meal to arrive.

He will from now on be on a daily dose of Miralax and Metamucil to avoid any re-occurance of this week's events.
